+======Synopsis:======
+$__getitem__(<array> <item#>) \\
+$__igetitem__(<array> <index#>)
+======Technical:======
+These functions are used to fetch data held in the given array.
+The $__getitem__() function retrieves data based on its item number in
+the array (counting from zero, the order in which the data was entered).
+The $__igetitem__() function retrieves it based on its index number
+(counting from zero, in a sorted order).
+These functions only affect arrays created with $[[setitem]]().
+======Practical:======
+These functions are used to get an item in an array.  The applications
+for these function should be obvious.  The $__igetitem__() function, in
+particular, is useful for showing an array's contents in alphabetical
+order.
+======Returns:======
+array item data, or empty string if array or item is not found
